Done: Fr.

Answer:

FINI

Hint:

Think of how a French chef might declare a meal complete, or check the end of a race in Paris.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the French word for "done," which is "fini." The abbreviation "Fr." hints that you should think of the French language rather than English. So instead of "done" meaning "finished" in English, you switch to the French equivalent for the answer.
